Abstract:The effects of experimentally-induced, uterine vascular restriction on uterine blood flow (UBF) and uterine blood volume (UBV) capacity, as well as the dependent intrauterine oxygen tension (IUpO2) measurements used as an indication of luminal nutrient availability, were examined using ovariectomized, estrogen (E)-treated guinea pigs. Following 3 days of E treatment, both UBF and UBV measurements were found to be elevated and associated with a causally-related increase in intraluminal ute… Show more
